The first time that Karen and I met Mr. Grubb it was as if he had been a family friend for life. He never had an unkind word for anyone, and gave so much to others. Mr. W.O. will be missed, but his memory for doing good deeds will live forever in the hearts of those who knew him. In deep respect to a wonderful person. Respectfully, Denny and Karen Hilton

Willie Grubb was one of the kindest and sweetest men I have ever met. He treated me like I was family. I remember visiting him and Tee in their home and sitting for hours just talking. It makes it a little easier to know he and Tee are up there in heaven catching up on their time apart. Willie, you will definately be missed.
